The one where we were patriotic

We had such a fun 4th of July this year!  We started it out on Tuesday night by going to the Riverton Parade!

 Little brother even got to be in the parade.  He is the one with the hair.  

Yesterday on the actual holiday we managed to fit a lot in to the little time we had as usual:

• Went to our parents' ward parade and breakfast
• Boys went golfing at Mulligan's. . .
• While the girls of course went shopping!
• Packed a picnic and headed to Camp Williams to swim and visit with the Cluff family
• Managed somehow to fit in a much needed nap!
• Went to the bees game and saw them ALMOST win and watched a pretty impressive firework show!

It was such a fun and much needed holiday.  So hard to come back to work today, but only 10 working days until vacation!  I love the 4th of July and everything it brings with it!  So thankful for our freedom, our country and those who fight for it!  Hope you all had a fun 4th as well!  We love this time of year!
